Extra space in the match string

[tsmets]

I am refactoring my URL matching configuration file and I get this :
[snip]
Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://localhost:8000/followDeploys/viewDeployed/xxx

Using the URLconf defined in customer.urls, Django tried these URL
patterns, in this order:

1. ^followDeploys/ ^viewDeployed/(?P<appAcronym>[^a-z][a-z0-9][a-
z0-9])
2. ^admin/(.*)

The current URL, followDeploys/viewDeployed/xxx, didn't match any of
these.
[/snip]

Now there is an extra space in the first matching URL pattern.

My top level URL.py
###############################################
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *


# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns ('',
# Follow deploys :
(r'^followDeploys/',include('customer.follow_deploys.urls')),

# Uncomment the admin/doc line below and add
'django.contrib.admindocs'
# to INSTALLED_APPS to enable admin documentation:
# (r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

(r'^admin/(.*)', admin.site.root),
)
###############################################


Then my url.py in follow_deploys is :
###############################################
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

urlpatterns = patterns('customer.follow_deploys.views',
# Allows to view the status of one acronym
(r'^viewDeployed/(?P<appAcronym>[^a-z][a-z0-9][a-z0-9])',
'viewDeployed'),
)
###############################################


Any help is appreciated

Are you sure the last part (<appAcronym) is ok ??? "[^a-z]" means
"everything *but* a character in range a-z".

AFAICT, this 'extra space' is in the error page display only, not in
the pattern effectively used for matching - I can see similar things
here with patterns that I know are ok and working.

You didn't specify the effective value of the appAcronym part you used
for your tests, but it won't match anything starting with a lowercase
letter.

My 2 cents...

the space indicates passing the URL off to an included urls.py.
